Carthage College

Yes, it is typically still possible at Carthage to graduate in four years, even when spending a semester or year abroad. Our study abroad program director works with you to make sure the courses you take while abroad help keep you on track for graduation.

In terms of participation and attendance, athletics and fine arts are the most popular. We offer 28 intercollegiate sports and a wide range of fine arts activities and events. That said, we also have more than 130 clubs and organizations led by students. (Sorry for the delayed response, I just became aware of this website.)

All of the residence halls are open to first year students. That said, returners sign up for housing first, so most years The Oaks and The Tower fill before first year students sign up for housing. On a related note, first year students are typically housed with other first year students.

Yes, we have had students attend Carthage who are in a wheelchair, and there are elevators in all multi-story buildings. While I can't speak to the daily lived experience of any student on campus who uses a wheelchair, I can confirm that it is possible to attend Carthage while using a wheelchair.
